Does anybody else say a'ready?

In fast, colloquial speech: /ɔ'ɹɛdi/.

As it is here in careful speech, which is why I qualified my statement. On the other hand, the l in almond I never pronounce no matter how formal the register or the occasion.

I was watching an old show on an "oldies" station, and it
had advertisements from the past including the candy
bar Almond Joy. I recorded it and listened a
couple times, and it (sometimes you feel like a nut,
sometimes you don') clearly said ALL MEND.
